Telefon, Telefon |
Telephone, telephone |
| Hallo – how do you do? | Hello – how do you do? |
| Hallo – merci beaucoup | Hello – thank you very much |
| So klingt's aus allen Ländern an mein Ohr | That's what I hear from every country |
| Hallo – grazie, sì, sì | Hello – thanks, yes, yes |
| Hallo – nada por mí | Hello – nothing for me |
| Mein Herz ist schon vergeben, no señor | My heart is already taken, no sir |
| Telefon, Telefon, wenn dein Ruf erklingt | Telephone, telephone, whenever your call is heard |
| Frag ich mich beim ersten Ton, was er Neues bringt | At the very first ring I ask myself, what news you'll bring |
| Telefon, Telefon, still vergeht die Zeit | Telephone, telephone, time goes by silently |
| Lange, lange wart ich schon, gestern so wie heut | I've been waiting a long long time, yesterday and also today |
| Du kennst meine grosse Sehnsucht | You know my great desire |
| Nach dem Schönsten dieser Welt | For the most beautiful thing in the world |
| Das mein Herz und meine Seele | Which keeps my heart and my soul |
| Tag und Nacht in Atem hält | Breathing, day and night |
| Telefon, Telefon, lang war ich allein | Telephone, telephone, for a long time I've been alone |
| Sag, wann werde ich zum Lohn endlich glücklich sein? | Tell me, when will I be rewarded with happiness at last? |
| Hallo – endlich, Chéri | Hello – at last, darling |
| Hallo – was, morgen früh? | Hello – what, tomorrow morning? |
| Sag, warum kommst du nicht mehr heute nacht? | Tell me, why don't you come tonight? |
| Hallo – häng noch nicht ein | Hello – don't hang up yet |
| Hallo – ich bin allein | Hello – I'm alone |
| Und hab den ganzen Tag an dich gedacht | And I've been thinking about you the whole day |
| Telefon, Telefon, wenn dein Ruf erklingt | Telephone, telephone, whenever your call is heard |
| Frag ich mich beim ersten Ton, was er Neues bringt | At the very first ring I ask myself, what news you'll bring |
| Telefon, Telefon, still vergeht die Zeit | Telephone, telephone, time goes by silently |
| Lange, lange wart ich schon, gestern so wie heut | I've been waiting a long long time, yesterday and also today |
| Du kennst meine grosse Sehnsucht | You know my great desire |
| Nach dem Schönsten dieser Welt | For the most beautiful thing in the world |
| Das mein Herz und meine Seele | Which keeps my heart and my soul |
| Tag und Nacht in Atem hält | Breathing, day and night |
| Telefon, Telefon, lang war ich allein | Telephone, telephone, for a long time I've been alone |
| Sag, wann werde ich zum Lohn endlich glücklich sein? | Tell me, when will I be rewarded with happiness at last? |
| Hallo? Oh, jetzt kann ich nicht mehr sprechen | Hello? Oh, I can't talk anymore |
| Mein Lied ist aus – au revoir, bonsoir | My song is ending – goodbye, good night |
The lyrics also contain a few words in English, French, Italian & Spanish.
